1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading as to size, June 23, 2009

I will be traveling to Brazil with my diabetic 16 pound cat. I read the reviews over and over because I was afraid my cat wouldn't fit in it. The 18 inches long includes the wheels. The real lengh is 16. There is no way my 16 pound cat would fit comfortably in there. Only if she were smashed during the 15 hours trip. Since it's said here that it will carry a 22 pounds animal, I decided to buy it. I guess my husband will use it as a backpack now... and we'll have to buy another carrier for the trip.

I already have one backpack that I really like and was trying to find one just like it for our new dog (the one I have is from Target and they stopped carrying it). We like to take our dogs (13 lb Shih Tzus) bike riding with us and we usually attach the hook to their harness and leave the top unzipped, so we like something with fairly sturdy sides, which this one wasn't bad. Also, glad it had the hook inside. However, this bag was much too small for our dogs. If we zipped them in completely they were smashed into little balls and if we left the top unzipped they practically fell out. I gave the bag to my parents who have a 7 lb toy poodle and this bag is the perfect size for them. Overall a good bag, just make sure your dog is small enough.

I got this carrier to cart my cats to and from the vet's office on my bike or by walking. Of course they flip the heck out while in it, but they're cats and that's what they do. Here are my major issues with the backpack:

1) The metal lining on the inside that gives the front structure and keeps the canvas off the animal constantly slips out of its "holsters". Basically, you have a bunch of metal wires in the bag that may or may not hit your animal. I wouldn't say it's terribly dangerous, but it would definitely be uncomfortable.

2) This bag is NOT for large cats. I would say it can reasonably accommodate an animal up to 10lbs, and definitely not for long stretches of time. My 12lb cat has to sit upright in it, whereas my smaller 7lb cat can lie down. I do not have a small dog so I can't comment on how it is for dogs (I am reasonably sure my 50lb dog would not fit!).

3) If you wear this as a backpack (and it has straps to do so, so I imagine it isn't out of the ordinary), be aware that the animal will basically be slammed around inside the backpack when you put it on or take it off. This may be especially pertinent to owners of delicate dogs or cowardly cats.

I never use the wheels on this backpack so I can't comment where that is concerned, but as far as the quality of the bag, it seems pretty average. I have owned and used this bag lightly for five months, I do not fear that the straps will tear off due to weight, or that the bag will fall apart anytime soon. At the same time, I would never try to stress the bag to test its limits. It is well-ventilated and not terribly awkward to carry as a backpack.

Overall, the carrier is useful if you just need to take your pooch or feline from point A to point B. Beyond that, I would definitely advise against keeping an animal in it for longer than what is absolutely necessary.
